Do you keep it realistic? Aspirational?

I have it set at 300. Strength train 30 min 3x week. HIT 20 min 3x a week. Elliptical 2x a week. Avg about 10,000 a day. 300 is an attainable goal. Sundays im at about 250. Weekdays anywhere from 350 to 4 or 500. Do you guys push? Or do you keep it realistic so you have a prayer at closing your rings most of the time?

I just got a phone call from the “Schwab Fraud Protection Team” (929-249-9447) the person on the phone did not ask for any information. Did not verify who I was. Let me know we were on a recorded line. Told me someone tried to purchase $8,500 worth of guns from a business I had never heard of. Asked me if I had in fact tried to buy them with my Schwab credit card ending in ****. I dont have a schwab credit card, just a debit. I said I didnt. She said she would cancel the payment. That’s it. I called back the number a few minutes later, i had just finished a work out and I was exhausted and confused but when I had my wits back I called back. Same person answered but it cut out. I can’t tell if it was legit? She didnt get any information from me except a “no”. And a couple “okay”s.

I walk about 4 miles a day and I do workouts every day. I had Riveras. Thought ide get a shoe with more cushion and support. Got the Torin 8. They seemed perfect but on my first walk the inner lip bit into my inner ankle bones. Does the torin 9 do this? Im looking at escalantes or experience flow. I was using crocs alot on the walks so i think anything will be better. I just need them not to hurt me. The shoe finder on the website suggested Torin 8 or escalante. But the torin 8 failed me.

I recommend it all the time. It is motivating and life changing and I hope they never price me out of it. Seeing all the posts where you all post your workouts and trade notes on trainers and sessions. Chef’s kiss. It’s a little world I was all alone in and this sub is like the door to the community. Thank you! Awesome.

This is for my brother. On friday he got into a motorcycle accident. He still has his limbs. He broke his ribs, sternum, arms, wrists, pelvis, and his toes. Other injuries, the worst being brain bleeds. He has gone through 2 surgeries so far. On sunday, withdrawal symptoms began. He went from a patient complaining of pain and discomfort and claustrophobia (due to waking up immobilized) to an… i don’t even know how to say it. Of all the things the withdrawal has been the most disturbing to me. He was irritable with the nurses (to say the least), restless, then he began begging us to take him home. Begging. “I’m trapped here, i’m trapped here.” I laid awake all night thinking about this.

He has a sponsor. We texted him through my brothers phone. But then the phone locked and he is so out of it from the Ativan he cant give us his passcode. So all sponsor knows is he was in a motorcycle accident. Even then I don’t know what to tell his sponsor. I don’t want anyone to see him this way. I can barely stomach it myself.

Not sure what I want out of this post except to vent and let you know that one of your people is out here “sobering up” (quotes because he is still high as a kite, lotta drugs) in the worst effing way possible. Waking nightmare. I wish you all the best in your journeys. His journey has broken my heart more times than I can count and this has just been the icing on the shit cake for him. We are not religious so I wont ask you to pray but please send all the thoughts you can. And if you have made it past withdrawal I sincerely hope with all my heart that for your and your loved ones sake you can keep it together one day at a time. ❤️
